Co-op of the Day: 62 Pierrepont Street
This ground-floor FSBO at 62 Pierrepont Street in Brooklyn has a great prewar vibe to it. At about 900 square feet, it’s not huge but there are “2 1/2” bedrooms according to the listing and some substantial outdoor space to boot. Fans of original detail will no doubt dig the picture-frame moldings and cherry wainscoting….

Fans of original detail will no doubt dig the picture-frame moldings and cherry wainscoting. The maintenance is a reasonable $866 per month. And the price? $799,000. We bet this’ll go pretty darn close to ask. Do you agree?

I can’t find any energy in bklyn hights! My best friend has lived there for almost 4 years now and the place is very very dull compared to park slope.
Park slope is full of young artistic, fun, and outgoing people. BH is full of white bread, ivy league, lawyers!
The only advantage BH has over park slope is its proximity to manhattan and to the courts (since BH is full of lawyers).
Other then that, Park Slope trumps BH in every other respect!
To 2:51: an apartment that is two flights up could very well be on the third floor — one flight from first floor to second floor, another flight from second floor to third floor.
Dear Owner, the reason it’s misleading (and even a bit weird!) to market this as a 2-1/2 bedroom apartment is that there is no such thing as a half bedroom. A room is either a bedroom, or it isn’t. Why not just call it a 2-bedroom, convertible to 3? That’s the standard way of letting potential buyers know that there is a space that could potentially be used as a bedroom (although here, you’ve got the added problem that you’d have to walk through the one bedroom to get to another, which is obviously less than ideal).
Apart from this, however, I think you’ve put together a really fine FSBO site. Best of luck to you.
Energy in Brooklyn Heights??
Where??!
I’ve lived here for 20 years and the ONE thing it certainly does not have is energy! It’s a sleepy little village with very few high-rises, very few shops or restaurants and very few people.
It does, however have a lot of peace and quiet and lovely architecture!
3:31…well since you’ve obviously come to the comments section of a real estate blog in search of pulitzer prize winning prose, i’m very sorry to disappoint.
Interesting Polemicist, since Brooklyn Heights is known around the world as America’s first “suburb.”
I find your comment to be the exact opposite of how I feel about the two neighborhoods.
And I don’t live in either.
Such a mean-spirited bunch of know-nothings.
A typical thread on Stoner.
I’ve always loved the heights – Park Slope would have become just like it if the depression hadn’t hit.
I love the old architecture, but Park Slope will forever lack the density that makes the heights special. There is an energy in that neighborhood that just doesn’t exist in Park Slope. Brooklyn Heights feels like a city. Park Slope, just doesn’t somehow.
I still continue to live there though.
Apartments like this are the tragic consequences of carving once grand places into warrens of rooms.
Which makes 35 Prospect Park West pad, posted yesterday, all the more special.
